Precise experimental data are compared with precise theoretical values for the detonation velocities of several gaseous mixtures of cyanogen and oxygen. The results of this comparison show that these detonation processes are pathological in the sense of the theory of Kirkwood and Wood. Because of the lack of chemical kinetic data, it is not possible to calculate correct detonation velocities for these pathological detonations. Therefore, the determination of detonation velocities is not a worthwhile method for the determination of precise values of thermodynamic properties in mixtures of cyanogen and oxygen.
